Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Informatica, Oracle and others in Data Integration."The initial setup was easy."
"It is easy to set up the solution."
"The most valuable aspect of this solution is that it is simple to use and it offers a flexible custom script task."
"It has good data integration and good processes."
"The solution is stable."
"Built in reports show package execution and messages. Logging can also be customized so only what is needed is logged. There is also an excellent logging replacement called BiXpress that provides both historical and real-time monitoring which is more efficient and much more robust than the built-in logging capabilities. And none of this requires custom coding to make it useful unlike many other ETL tools."
"It's saved time using visualization descriptions."
"Data Flows are the main component we use. These can range from a simple source to sink ETL, to many source to many sink dataflows."
"WhereScape's deployment package is a fantastic feature. The application allows for selecting specific objects that you would like to deploy from one environment to another rather than deploying the entire database."
"I found the initial setup very easy."
"RED generates comprehensive documentation and regenerates it as quickly as things changes, but it also provides impact documentation."
"Quickly develops a data warehouse for our organization with documentation and can track back/forward features."
"WhereScape RED has improved our business's ability to generate needed reporting without requiring a large team of developers to manually code all of the necessary plumbing."
"Support is absolutely excellent, efficient, and timely."
"WhereScape is really helpful in terms of architecture data. Everything is one of automation. Two people can do thousands of tables in one day or two. It saves a lot of time."
"Data transformations and rollups are easy to accomplish."
"Sometimes, there are compatibility issues with some features. From time to time, I also face issues when trying to migrate. If I misconfigure things when I use Snapshot, the migration will fail.It can take a long time to migrate huge amounts of data, so it would be nice if that could be faster."
"We're in the process of switching to Informatica, and we need to work out data lineage and data profiling and to improve the quality of our data. SSIS, however, is not that compatible with Informatica. We managed to connect it to Informatica Metadata Manager, but we don't get good lineage, so we have to redo all our ETLs using the Informatica process in order to accept the proper data lineage."
"Involving a data lake or data engineering aspects would be useful. While it is there, we need more features included."
"I would like to see more features in terms of the integration with Azure Data Factory."
"Future releases should improve the data lineage, as it currently is not good."
"Performance could be better."
"The security could be improved, as it is more important in our context."
"It should have other programming languages supported as well from a scripting perspective. Currently, only C# and VB.NET are supported, which limits it to .NET. It should have Java support as well."
"No support for change data capture or delta detection - that must be custom coded ."
"The ability to execute SSIS projects within WhereScape would be nice because we have a lot of packages that are too cumbersome to recreate."
"Improve the object renaming ability (it works, but it could be more automated)."
"Customization could be better."
"They need a more robust support center. It has been a bit difficult to find solutions to problems that are out-of-the-box."
"It could use a tool to diagnose what is missing from the environment for WhereScape to install successfully."
"Jobs cannot be deleted via the deployment package. When deploying from dev to QA or production, a job has to be retired. The job has to be manually removed from the target environment."
"The scheduled jobs which are run by the WhereScape scheduler seem to be a strangely separate animal. Unlike all other WhereScape objects, jobs cannot be added to WhereScape projects. Also, unlike all other objects, jobs also cannot be deleted using a WhereScape deployment application."
